It looks like you've gotten pretty far, and all you need to do is assign 
permissions through the GRANT statement. Read up on it, of course, 
before using it. If there is a user (besides the MySQL root), in fact, 
you probably already used GRANT to create the user. So now you'd log in 
as the MySQL root (however you logged in to create the database, I 
assume) and issue something like:

     GRANT ALL ON db-name.* TO 'k5di'@'localhost'

Is that the level of information you were looking for?
